Optatus 1/1250 OPT-S14 rig USS Mississippi CGN 40 rigged model

A 1/1250 scale second-hand model of USS Mississippi CGN 40.

This model was originally re-fitted, re-painted, mounted on a plinth and was probably under glass. The model has suffered some damage to the rigging and etched brass railings and there are mounting holes on the underside of the hull where it was removed from a plinth and some paint is missing along the deck edges near the bow, see photograph.
